Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 986 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 986 × k = 980 × k + 6 × k.
  • Each answer is 986 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 986.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 986 times table is double the answer in the 493 times table: 493 × 6 = 2,958, so 986 × 6 = 5,916. To multiply 986 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 986 away: 9,860 − 986 = 8,874. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 986: 9,860 + 986 = 10,846. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 986 → 1,972 → 3,944.

Every multiple of 986 is at least 986, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 986 times table exactly when it divides by 986 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 986 is even, every answer in its table is even, which is a quick way to catch a wrong answer. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 986 × 10 = 9,860, and 986 × 100 = 98,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,860 is 4,930.

Using the 986 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 986 × 7 = 6,902, you know 6,902 ÷ 986 = 7 and 6,902 ÷ 7 = 986. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
